For over 25 years, Andrew Urich has combined humour and insight with thought-provoking content to provide students and business professionals with the information and opportunities they need to grow personally and develop professionally. One of the ways that he does this is through his promotion of thinking. He encourages thought in the most effective way- through self-examination.
